Simsbury ABC House
May 18, 2017
The Simsbury A Better Chance Program (ABC) is a non-profit organization making a difference in the lives of academically talented young men of color from underserved communities. Since 1973, the Program has offered motivated, outstanding, minority youth the opportunity to achieve their dreams through education. Our students are primarily from cities in the Northeast, and they live in Simsbury for the four years they attend Simsbury High School. They return home on school vacations and during the summer. In Simsbury, each student has “host family” which gives them a family experience away from home. We know from over 40 years experience that our young men, through their experiences attending Simsbury High School and their involvement with the Simsbury community, will have the opportunity to attend the colleges of their choice and to assume positions of leadership and responsibility in society. |

Cycling without Age
Jun. 01, 2017
Cycling Without Age is a movement started in 2012 by Ole Kassow. Ole wanted to help the elderly get back on their bicycles, but he had to find a solution to their limited mobility. The answer was a trishaw and he started offering free bike rides to the local nursing home residents. He then got in touch with a civil society consultant from the City of Copenhagen, Dorthe Pedersen (now Cycling Without Age), who was intrigued by the idea and together they bought the first 5 trishaws and launched Cycling Without Age, which has now spread to all corners of Denmark, and since 2015 to another 28 countries around the world. |
